VAUGHAN - VAUGHN Family
An interesting outline of the VAUGHAN name is on the Rootsweb VAUGHAN Message Board
Widow Elizabeth VAUGHAN and children are
found in Shenandoah County, Virginia before 1785. They may have been from Wales as
son John's family recalled he was born in 1755 Wales coming to America with his father and brothers William and James although the
same source says he was born in Winchester, Frederick County, or Woodstock, Shenandoah County, Virginia. They did not mention the
mother or other children. An email source says the place in Wales was Cardiff,
the capital and largest city of Wales. It is not
known if that was their residence or place of departure.
- John VAUGHAN born around 1755 in Wales or Winchester, Frederick, County or Woodstock, Shenandoah County, Virginia married

Isaac and died before 1820 in Greene County, Ohio. John died in 1839 Greene
